Danger Assessment

Each situation of intimate partner violence is different and there are no true indicators that will point to the fact that the violence will occur again, or how severe. However, there are indicators that increase the likelihood that you may be in danger.

Ask Yourself:

Do you consider your partner dangerous?

Do you feel safe?

Has the frequency of the abuse increased? (Is it happening more often?)

Has the severity of the abuse increased? (Are the injuries getting worse?)

Does your partner use drugs or alcohol?

Is your partner obsessive? (Is he/she very controlling?)

Do you feel isolated? (or does your partner restrict who you can have contact with?)
